After nearly a century. The
French control a vast region

00:02:22,91 --> 00:02:24,02
but one with a sparse population.

30
00:02:28,33 --> 00:02:32,00
After more than a century of Spanish
colonization the English settled in Virginia

00:02:33,78 --> 00:02:35,84

excellent harbors the larger rivers were

33
00:02:42,24 --> 00:02:47,57
navigable only to the final line separating
the federal coastal plain from the

Southern colonies was characterized by a
landed aristocracy supported by tobacco

and slave labor in New England
the rivers flow southward

43
00:03:33,21 --> 00:03:39,31
and only a few were navigable the indented
coastline offered excellent harbors the

44
00:03:39,32 --> 00:03:41,73
natural resources were the
fishing banks for food

45
00:03:42,71 --> 00:03:46,37
and the vast virgin forests which
provided lumber for ships and home.

46
00:03:47,97 --> 00:03:49,93
The Rocky style severe climate

47
00:03:49,93 --> 00:03:54,65
and short growing season permitted
agriculture only to supply domestic needs

48
00:03:57,50 --> 00:04:00,28
to that setting came the
Pilgrims in sixteen. Twenty.

49
00:04:01,59 --> 00:04:05,52
Soon thereafter the Massachusetts Bay
Colony was founded with a rather crude

beginning but soon more settlers arrived

51
00:04:09,09 --> 00:04:12,58
and built permanent dwelling.

52
00:04:12,59 --> 00:04:16,75
People from Massachusetts settled the
valley of the Connecticut River.

53
00:04:16,76 --> 00:04:20,66
Roger Williams led
settlers to Rhode Island.

54
00:04:20,67 --> 00:04:24,60
The New Haven colony was
extended over to Long Island.

55
00:04:25,75 --> 00:04:29,81
Later the New Haven colony was
combined with Connecticut.

56
00:04:29,83 --> 00:04:31,92
And the Plymouth colony
with Massachusetts.

57
00:04:33,34 --> 00:04:36,49
New England was now substantially settled.

58
00:04:37,37 --> 00:04:41,50
The houses were generally in villages
conducive to active community live.

The middle Atlantic region had excellent
Harbor is large rivers some navigable lead

61
00:04:53,70 --> 00:04:57,84
far inland. And these facilitated
extensive for trade with the Indians.

62
00:04:59,11 --> 00:05:04,33
Between ranges of mountains flowed Rivers
flanked by Brown fertile valleys where

63
00:05:04,34 --> 00:05:09,16
colonists soon were to produce
weak barley apples pears.

64
00:05:09,49 --> 00:05:14,55
Peaches and dairy products
butter and cheese.

65
00:05:15,27 --> 00:05:20,25
The Dutch settled on the Hudson River at
the mouth. And at the head of navigation.

66
00:05:22,05 --> 00:05:24,38
Shortly thereafter this we'd
settled on the Delaware.

67
00:05:25,02 --> 00:05:30,12
But their weakness invited subjugation
by the Dutch under status and.

68
00:05:30,14 --> 00:05:35,58
Soon the English took possession
of all New Netherlands.

69
00:05:35,60 --> 00:05:38,20
Then founded Pennsylvania

Manor system with its restrictions
on individual enterprises.

72
00:05:51,64 --> 00:05:55,44
In addition to their mainland colonies
the English founded colonies in Bermuda

73
00:05:56,20 --> 00:05:59,95
Barbadoes and other West
Indian islands. These the.

SESSIONS were important both in
naval and commercial affairs.

75
00:06:05,16 --> 00:06:11,03
Thus by sixteen eighty nine Spain was well
established in the south of France was

76
00:06:11,03 --> 00:06:17,13

England was firmly planted on the Atlantic

77
00:06:17,13 --> 00:06:23,05
and claimed Hudson Bay in New
England shipbuilding flourished

78
00:06:23,99 --> 00:06:26,89
industries not competing with the
mother country were free to develop.

these to the West Indies

and exchange them for molasses sugar

87
00:07:03,69 --> 00:07:08,85
and money much of the foreign trade was in
triangles like this in order to balance

88
00:07:08,85 --> 00:07:09,58
accounts.

89
00:07:10,79 --> 00:07:15,52
However many raw materials in the money
received in the West Indian trade went

90
00:07:15,52 --> 00:07:21,36
directly to England to balance accounts
for manufactured goods the southern

91
00:07:21,36 --> 00:07:25,39
colonies because of their tobacco carried
on direct barter with the mother country.

92
00:07:26,78 --> 00:07:29,46
The Colonial Merchant Marine and
foreign afraid were extensive

93
00:07:30,29 --> 00:07:37,11

nine for a century immigration
from England with small.

95
00:07:41,85 --> 00:07:47,13
Native American colonists pushed the front
here back northward westward southward

96
00:07:47,13 --> 00:07:52,18
to their new homes in the wilderness up
the fertile river valleys to their head

97
00:07:52,18 --> 00:07:55,89
waters through the mountain gaps pressing
the French on the north and west

98
00:07:56,61 --> 00:07:59,89
and Spanish on the south virgin.

99
00:08:00,00 --> 00:08:04,01
That's of a near where the most populous
of these English colonies by seven hundred

100
00:08:04,01 --> 00:08:04,43
sixty three.

101
00:08:08,15 --> 00:08:14,13
Now to go back the French dreamed of a
vast empire in the middle the valley with

102
00:08:14,14 --> 00:08:19,99
its capital at New Orleans posts and
forwards were built to explode the Spanish

103
00:08:19,99 --> 00:08:23,67
and the English and the
south in the north west

104
00:08:23,67 --> 00:08:29,10
and the French encroached on the Hudson
Bay claims with outposts English

105
00:08:29,11 --> 00:08:31,09
and French both claim the hinterland.

106
00:08:32,15 --> 00:08:36,55
The French strengthen their
position and when English regulars

107
00:08:36,55 --> 00:08:42,03
and colonials under Braddock's advanced on
for Duquesne they were severely degraded.

108
00:08:43,14 --> 00:08:48,23
The colonies rushed new defenses during
the next two years the English suffered

109
00:08:48,23 --> 00:08:50,95
defeat on the northern front here.

110
00:08:50,97 --> 00:08:55,82
But in seven hundred fifty eight a small
English force advanced up the mark

111
00:08:55,82 --> 00:08:56,77
and across Lake Ontario

112
00:08:56,77 --> 00:09:02,46

attack below the city failed.

Finally in desperation work secretly
moved his troops above the city.

118
00:09:32,21 --> 00:09:36,99
Under cover of darkness look troops
climb to the Plains of Abraham.

119
00:09:38,04 --> 00:09:42,05
Montcalm the French general
decided to attack.

120
00:09:43,49 --> 00:09:46,55
After the second English
volley the French line broke

121
00:09:46,55 --> 00:09:51,22
and four days later back surrendered
this battlefield of New France.

122
00:09:52,49 --> 00:09:56,29
The following year three English and
colonial forces converged on Montreal.

the founding of the first free nation in

America.
